Even before the steam leaves through the chimney, it’s cleaner than the water you flush from your toilet, as the chemicals used in resomation have cleaning properties. So it’s cleaned twice, during the resomation process & then when it enters the water supply, where as sewage only receives one cleaning cycle before re-entering the water supply!
